GEN: HP inconsistency?

[Nancy Riemer Kellner <Nkellner@AOL.COM>]

Esteemed and thoughtful readers of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,
Please stop reading this message if you have not finished the book.

My sister-in-law posed this question and I could not answer her:

If the characters emerging from Harry's wand during the duel with Voldemort
showed up in reverse order of their death, i. e. first Cedric, then Frank
Bryce the caretaker, then Bertha Jorkins, followed by his father and then
finally his mother, how does this jive with Lily seemingly surviving after
the death of James. Wasn't Lily the one who saved Harry after James had
already been killed. Therefore Lily's death should have been more recent than
James'.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Nancy
